Red sweater is FABULOUS! Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you - it's a cardigan I made ages ago and haven't worn that much - clearly I should wear it more often! Thanks and take good care xx

Hi Lesley. Hope you've had a good start to the new year. It's hard to believe the weekend is upon us. Hopefully, you'll have time to complete your cardigan. Still got this ridiculous cold. Did manage to start a crochet shawl. Have a great weekend, take care. X

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela The colds floating around this year appear to be particularly unpleasant - hope yours is on its way out now. Take very good care and keep warm! xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Well your New Year’s Eve sounded as raucous as ours was- a glass of something nice in front of the tv with our feet up! Just what we wanted actually. All the very best to you and himself - and Miss Heidi of course. We should also include your Dad for good health and happiness in 2024 x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather - yep - a quiet evening at home. Usually Jools Holland, but we went for Rick Astley this year. All the very best to you and yours for the year ahead and thanks for being here, as always xx

Hi Lesley Happy 2024! Bless him for trying to do it quietly. It's not really an easy task. Sleep is a great healer and you obviously needed healing after such a raucous night and day! 😁 We went to one of the boys, played some fun games, got drenched at midnight. Two sips of fizz and a very tired, "No I'm not" eleven year old granddaughter. To be fair they had been to a party the night before and it was a very late one. Got home around two, been quite awhile since that happened! Birthday Sunday 21again. Had an upsetting family event yesterday, can't write about it yet, but it's what it is now, just he way it was done. Anyhow can now enter my new cast on into your mal. Totally forgot to enter my Christmas crafting, but that's me and a reason better planning is my word of the year. Have a fantabulous week. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jane You "dirty stop out", you - glad you had a good time. Sorry you've had an upsetting time, since then. I hope that the effects are shortlived. Happy birthday for last Sunday - hope that was a good one. Take good care and keep well xx

[@carolroy5435]

You sure look great in that red sweater!! Got a "word" for 2024 yet? Mine is Explore. I only started doing this last year, but I'm enjoying it so on we go. 😊

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi - that sounds like a good word. Unfortunately, judging by the way the year has started, mine will be "dentistry" - not quite so exciting! I look forward to seeing your explorations (if that doesn't sound...medical...)

[@stitchitch7010]

Heidi looks ready for a nap after her walk 🐾 I had a cocker spaniel who tried to chase the fireworks~ he hated them so much. Your red sweater looks wonderful on you! Can't wait to see what you do with your hair this time. Take care dearie 😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - just a trim at the hairdresser, didn't want too much of a change right now. Thanks for being here and take good care xx

That red sweater looks fabulous on you! I’ve never taken part in a MAL, other than one a long time ago when I had an LYS, but I plan on participating in this one.

Sorry I spelt your name wrong,as I just copied from someone else.😊 Thank you for changing the rule as I started a jumper for my husband on the 30th which I've modified, so now I have to work out how to use Raverly.😊😊😊
